Route 22
Description Of Route 22:
Heading west of Viridian City is a small path called Route 22 that leads to the Gate to the Indigo Pleateau. This route is home to many different Pokemon, and is where you'll face your Rival of two different occasions. The first is at this time, during the early part of the game: He has added a new Pokemon and has trained a little, and this battle along with your first will determine what his Eevee will later evolve into.
Rival's Route 22 Pokemon Team:
Level 8 Eevee & Level 9 Spearow
Rival's Eevee Final Evolution Stipulations:
Jolteon: If you defeat your Rival in battle at Professor Oak's Laboratory and the optional battle on Route 22, your Rival will evolve his Eevee into Jolteon.
Flareon: If you defeat your Rival in battle at Professor Oak's Laboratory but lose or do not battle your Rival on Route 22, your Rival will evolve his Eevee into Flareon.
Vaporeon: If you lose to your Rival in battle at Professor Oak's Laboratory and lose or don't battle him on Route 22, your Rival will evolve his Eevee into Vaporeon.
After defeating your Rival, if you head to the Pokemon League Gate, you will not be able to pass since you have no Gym Badges. You will be forced to finally head back to Pallet Town with Oak's Parcel, since there is no open path until deliver it.
